Store profile: Market Square Jewelers.

March 17, 2014

This was originally going to be an Etsy wishlist post, but then I realized everything I’m wishing for today comes from the same place.

Market Square Jewelers is a brick-and-mortar jewelry store with an extensive and well-executed online presence. I was browsing them on Etsy when I realized I recognized several pieces from my Ruby Lane wishlist.

Their price point seems to start in the low 3 digits and go up to several thousand dollars in their main Etsy store, but they have a separate Etsy store for costume pieces, many of which are lower priced. They have a sterling reputation everywhere I’ve seen them mentioned, so they seem to be trustworthy as well as skilled at finding treasures. Most importantly, their wares are beautiful and well-photographed (you know that’s the way to my heart for an online store).

They also refer to themselves as a “library of jewelry” which you can imagine I am on board with.

You should always read Market Square Jewelers’ descriptions carefully, because some of their pieces – like the one above – are reset with new stones. That’s not a criticism: several of my favorites from their store are re-set pieces, I think they have great eye for what will work in the antique settings. Just pay attention to the listings so that you know if you’re getting an original stone or new one.
